After being utterly impressed with the Brazilian-side of Iguazu falls, we hopped over the boarder to see what Argentina had to offer. The falls on the Argentinian-side of Iguazu are on a much grander scale and there are three treks to the falls, each one displaying a different angle.
The first walk, the superiour trail, takes you along a narrow bridge on top of the ginormous waterfalls. Looking over the edge of the falls is quite exhilarating, if not slightly scary, as the fast-flowing stream at your feet plumets into the grand canyon and disappears into an explosion of mist.
The lower trail, the more moist trail, allows you to be up close and personal with these magnificant waterfalls. Standing infront of the overly powerful falls, the spray becomes a blanket of water leaving you soaking wet and breathless.
The final trail leads to Garganta del Diablo, Devil´s Throat. This is the biggest and by far the most impressive of all the falls. The short walk over the calm, gentle river is very misleading, as suddenly you are faced with an enormus canyon of fast flowing cascading waterfalls of indescribable size. Standing ontop of the Devil´s Throat is a surreal experience.
After returning to Iguazu town we decided to walk to Tres Frontara, the point were all three rivers from Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil join together, after casacding down some of the biggest waterfalls in the world. This was much calmer than standing at the top of Devil´s Throat!
